be ashamed of in having saved the nation.
Everv man who voted for Lincoln Is
proud of it. No man is proud to say that
he voted for Buchanan. The act OF vo-
TING is a matter of conscience. 1t Is
wrong to vote on the principle OF support
inp party nominees Loyalty only In state
or national elections. National political
organizations depend upon the efficiency
Of those of the states; state organizations
mon those of districts or counties;
county organizations, upon those OF
the townships. Men will differ
in their views as to why secession was
prevented. It is claimed that the North
had much larger population than the
South. This was compensated for by the
Southern troops fighting in their home
territory. As the rebels faced the Union
troops, their backs were turned to their
friends. They had no bases of supplies
to keep up which drew from the NUMBER
of men available for fighting. In the
case of the Union army, large proper
ton of the men had to be left to guard
bases of supply, in order that the COM
batants might not be starved to death IN
hostile territory. The real reason why
the North won was because of the large
number of educated men in its armies.
There was not regiment which had not
among it's numbers men who could build
pontoon bridges, prepare and operate
railroads and do anything else required
by the exigencies of modern warfare
The speaker cited the case noted by Gen.
| Grant in his Memoirs of General Dodge
| rebuilding the line of railroad in north
ern Alabama, as the rebels had left it
after tearing up the track, twisting the
rails out of shape, throwing the engines
and coaches into ravines and breaking
them to pieces. The skill of men in
Dodge's division rebuilt this road in a
few weeks, and had it ready for success
full operation, thus giving Grants army
two lines of road, instead of one. The
inventive and manufacturing skill of the
COuleCeIdCy was FolJ PiOSCl1oON' nOo "A'A
standing that artisans until late period
in the war were exempt from CONSUMPTION
into the confederate service. The senator
told how his own command, during the
war, operated an idle mill on the Usage,
in Missouri. The mill owner reluctantly
gave Colonel Plumb the mill key, saying
the mill dam was destroyed, the burrs had
not been picked for years, and there was
no grain in that region. Some days later
the mill owner stepped to the mill, and
saw it running, grain coming to it by the
wagon load, and great six-mule-team loads
of -four and meal being hauled away for
the use of the troops. The mill had been
repaired in good order by the men in Col
onel Plumb's command, and five thous-
and troops were being provided with
breadstuffs through this channel.
The speaker said much which we have
not the space to epitomize. He made an
excellent impression on his audience, and
he appreciated the audience.
After more singing by the vocal choir,
with Miss Bessie Kelly at the organ
Chairman Hanna declared the meeting
adjourned.
The senator started home by the early
train Wednesday morning.

wh., ,h. Ute. Really Are.

In the following editorial the Denver
News truthfuily depicts the state Of
affairs In this country previous TO the
late Ute troubles:
Before Sheriff Kendall was fired on
while attempting To arrest Indian horse
thieves, u large section of Western Col
orado WAS unlawfully infested by saw
ages, pronounced by Lieutenant Bur
nett To be- outlaws and renegades, with
the disposition 10 make trouble. These
Indians rendered life In that section
neither desirable nor safe. Ther. i,
never safety under such conditions, as
thousind, of nrn and women all over
the West will bear witness. The In
dians are a thicving and begging breed
and women living In Isolated positions
never feel secure. They are liable al
any moment Ia bc confronted by the
figure Of u savage In u window or In
ioor. When they ind n woman un-
protected they have way OF begging
which has all the elements of n hold-np.
Then, as nigh, be supposed, there Is n
constant anxiety and sense Of insccur
ity. Under such circumstances. unless
frontier settlers are destitute OF manly
feeling. there is always danger Of "a col |
iislon. The haste with which the res
crvaiion WAS emp,ied OF its Warriors n
few days ago and their excited eondi- |
ton, shows plainly the almost certain |
II u rupture between the |
settlers and Indians had occurred nj

The Denver News reached the true
inwardncss of the Republicans attack.
un the Governor and our citizens In the
following:

lives. II has knowingly fai,ih.d the
situation In that exposed locality. Il,
has uniformly verified every Indian
statement aud d.nir,i III. truth Of cyrry
white man. testimony In this whoi.
business. II has maliciou,ly assail,-i
the state Executive for responding 10 u
demand for protection by the settlers
made through tile commissioner. Of
Garfield county and other officers. Is
a brascn denial of notorious facts /, has
tried Ia prevent, Governor Adams frum
-iicciin. u permanent solution uf this
annoying question with safety TO III.
settler aud profit 10 the State. Now
that settlement tias been concluded
which opens Western Colorado Ia sc.

osnizrd by every impartial citizen rs
an important progressive step. II b,lit-
ties tho rcsul, and commits itself to tile
statement that Garfield county is no, u
tkt ls.ft tnf of without I.,
with them: that whereas there WAS no
danger before. there is no safety now.
aud VIII not he for long time. This
Kind OF reasoning must appear singular
TO sensible people.
MIR. Hills pnpcr has assumed ,hi,
attitude with political object In view.
While most people We're concerned
about the families exposed 10 peril on
the frontier, and interested in n final
termination which would forever re-
from our settlements. the Republican
has been occupied with its possible in.
tlu.ncc On future elections. , nd cspc.
cially with Its relation to particular
and personal scheme In the next I.cgis.
'ature. That Governor Adams. a Dem
ocrat. slionld he instrumental In ad.
vancing an important, public interest of
material value 10 the State was seri.
Gus matter ana might in some way in-
tcrferc with Mr.. Hills personal ar
rangcmcnts. Therefore this whole bus.
mess must be blackened. even n, the
expense Of the integrity of Gardcld's ;
citizens. OF the reputation Of the State
Executive and the Attorney General.
and at the sacrifice Of truth and sense
1t is neither wise nor in good taste
tn associate a question OF this nature
with partisan feeling. When Colorado
elects a Governor. Democrat or Repub-
iican. lie becomes Governor of the
whole State and all its interests. We
believe in clear cut party lines at the
right time and in the right place. When
u section of the commonwealth is ex.
posed 10 armed savages. and families
are impclled to abandon their homes
and seek refuge in the neares, towns. ii
is little less than brutal 10 compromise
